MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF METHICILLIN-RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS AMONG INSULIN-DEPENDENT DIABETIC INDIVIDUALS IN BRAZIL

Molecular characterization of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus among insulin-dependent diabetic individuals in Brazil

Abstract Background People with diabetes mellitus, especially insulin-dependent diabetic patients, are a risk group for staphylococcal infections.Asymptomatic infection with Staphylococcus aureus is common and favors dissemination of the microorganism, rendering these individuals a source of infection.This study aimed to characterize the resistance

Tuned Positive Position Feedback Control of an Active Magnetic Bearings System With 16-Poles and Constant Stiffness

This paper presents a tuned positive position feedback controller (TPPF) to overcome the dual high peaks of the classical PPF.This control signal is merged with a proportional-derivative (PD) control Battery Tray signal to suppress the vibrations of a constant-stiffness 16-poles rotor active magnetic bearings (AMBs) system.Another benefit of the ap

Bcl-2 protein expression is associated with p27 and p53 protein expressions and MIB-1 counts in breast cancer

Abstract Background Recent experimental studies have shown that Bcl-2, which has been established as a key player in the control of apoptosis, plays a role in regulating the cell cycle and proliferation.The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between Bcl-2 and p27 protein expression, p53 protein expression and the proliferation ac

The neural signatures of social hierarchy-related learning and interaction: A coordinate- and connectivity-based meta-analysis

Numerous neuroimaging studies have investigated the neural mechanisms of two mutually independent yet closely related cognitive processes aiding humans to navigate complex societies: social hierarchy-related learning (SH-RL) and social hierarchy-related interaction (SH-RI).To integrate these heterogeneous results into a more Queen Adjustable Base f
